Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 11 Conjecture, Reasoning, and Verification
"what happened?"

Seeing Steward Ning flying towards him, the sect leader offered a greeting.

"You're so old, can't you be more mature like Rongrong?"

Manager Ning took a breath, pulled Han Tao aside, and began to explain.

"Han Tao just explained how to improve physical fitness."

"Hmm!" Ning Fengzhi hummed softly.

He said the treatment is divided into two types, one of which is deep treatment, which can reach the microscopic level and heal the meridians.

Ning, the manager, avoided the important issues and offered no solution for improving physical fitness.

"What!" Ning Fengzhi slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"It involves the microscopic level and heals the meridians, is that true?"

He shouted the question.

"Not yet verified, Sect Master!"

Manager Ning hurriedly explained, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead, secretly hoping that what Han Tao said was true.

At this moment, Han Tao spoke up.

"Yes, Sect Master Ning, the first soul skill I chose, Fluorescent Light, is a kind of healing that involves the microscopic level."

Has it been tested?

Han Tao nodded and continued, "Before obtaining the spirit ring, I cut off the hoof veins of a gray wolf and tested three healing spirit beasts: fluorescent grass, begonia flower, and sunflower."

"Among them, crabapple blossoms and sunflowers have no repairing effect on tendons, although the possibility of insufficient age cannot be ruled out."

"The fluorescent grass has a healing effect on the hoof meridian, so I chose fluorescent grass as my first soul ring."

Hearing Han Tao's clear and logical answer, Ning Fengzhi began to believe him and continued to ask questions.

"After it became a spirit ring, were there any further tests conducted?"

Han Tao continued nodding: "Fluorescence can restore the microscopic parts of the body, but it involves the influence of meridians, and there is a lack of experimental samples to test it."

"Hmm!" Ning Fengzhi's tone gradually softened:

"Now, unleash your soul skill on me!"

Han Tao summoned his martial spirit and released his first spirit skill, Fluorescence.

A faint glimmer of soul power flowed towards Ning Fengzhi's body.

Ning Fengzhi frowned upon seeing the weakness of the light. He began to sense the effects of his soul skill on the meridians within his body.

"For a Soul Master of my 'level', the effect of your Soul Skill is extremely weak. Perhaps it will take a long time to gain even the slightest benefit."

"But it cannot be denied that your theories and discoveries have enormous strategic significance."

Ning Fengzhi sat down, beckoned to Steward Ning, and gave instructions.

"According to the rules we set before, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not be stingy with rewards for those who make contributions. You can pass on the secret technique of distraction control to him."

After speaking, Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Han Tao again.

"This is a secret technique of our sect, and it must not be passed on to outsiders. Remember this well."

This is certain; almost all sects and secret techniques have such a rule.

After Han Tao left, Ning Fengzhi burst into laughter inside the hall.

"This kid probably doesn't know the value of this information, but I dismissed him with something I was originally going to teach him."

Ning Fengzhi sat casually in the chair, holding a book titled "Not Showing Joy or Anger on One's Face," completely disregarding any semblance of decorum.

"Father, what's making you so happy?"

Suddenly, a little potato darted in from behind the door. It was Ning Rongrong.

Upon seeing Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi casually smoothed her hair, making it disheveled.

"I met an interesting guy today."

Then she whispered.

“Deep healing can heal the meridians. With this healing soul skill, the cost of developing meditation methods has been greatly reduced.”

"Moreover, when a Soul Master cultivates, their meridians will be damaged to some extent, the only difference being the degree, and these will affect their potential."

Manager Ning walked in from outside the door, saw Ning Fengzhi's actions, and quietly leaned close to his ear.

"Bone Douluo and the others are coming. What if he finds out you've messed up Rongrong's hair?"

Ning Fengzhi's laughing expression vanished instantly, and he glanced suspiciously at the door.

Then he quickly smoothed Rongrong's hair, but perhaps his technique was a bit clumsy, and Ning Rongrong's hair became even more messy.

Ning Fengzhi was a little nervous.

"Is that the new kid, Han Tao?"

Ning Rongrong blinked her eyes and opened her mouth to ask a question.

"How old are you? Why are you calling someone a little kid?" Ning Fengzhi said with a laugh.

"Is he a support-type Soul Master?"

"Blue Silver Grass, I guess it counts."

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong revealed a mischievous expression and let out a wicked, sly laugh.

"Father, since he is a support-type Soul Master, shouldn't we prepare a list of support-type study books for him as an entrance gift for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, the guards at the door involuntarily took a half step back.

"Little witch, are you serious?"

Ning Fengzhi guessed Ning Rongrong's intentions, but he did not object and tacitly agreed to his daughter's conditions.

Under the instructions of the little witch Ning Rongrong, the temple elder quickly compiled a list of supplementary study books and handed it to Han Tao.

"What is this?" Han Tao jumped up.

"Oh my goodness!"

"Estimated Combat Power Levels of Various Martial Souls" is just one of the supplementary study books. The supplementary study books have almost demanding requirements for support-type Soul Masters.

Real-time gain

"Real-time buffs are not about mindlessly increasing the strength or agility of teammates. Support-type Soul Masters have limited Soul Power, so we need to use our limited Soul Power to maximize the buff effect as much as possible."

"For example, when a powerful offensive Soul Master launches an attack, it includes the attack action, the timing of the hit, the finishing move and the after-swing. The attack action provides a speed boost to ensure the hit, and before the timing of the hit is triggered, it provides an attack buff to increase the damage effect."

"Defensive soul skills should not be left on teammates for too long. The most appropriate time is to apply a short-term, high-intensity defensive soul skill before the teammate is injured, so as to reduce the damage taken and reduce the consumption of soul power."

"Real-time buffs require different buff strategies to be selected based on the different types of Soul Masters."

Recommended reading list: "Breakdown of Attack Stages for Power-Attack Soul Masters", "Sixteen Methods for Enhancing Power-Attack Soul Masters at Each Stage", and "Seven Key Principles of Agility-Attack Soul Master Support Techniques".
[Control the situation]

"Controlling the battlefield consists of three parts: perception, calculation, and control. Perception involves acquiring data samples of the battle situation, calculation involves judging and selecting the optimal strategy, and control represents the execution of the strategy. All three are indispensable."

"Calculation is the core of the support system. By understanding the combat level of teammates and enemies, the distribution of strength and agility, combat habits, and soul ring skills, using battle data as samples and verified theories as formulas, a large amount of calculation is used to deduce the direction of the battle and guide the battle to expand the advantage."

Recommended reading list: "Analysis of Soul Ring Attacks", "Elemental Attributes and Characteristics", and "Force".
"The control aspect includes various forms such as buffs, healing, purification, isolation, control, weakening, and linking."

First, "attach the corresponding status," and second, "instruct teammates on how to do it." Thus, information transmission is the core of control.
